There’s more to it than meets the eye at Monti tourist sites

The Monti Motel owner Henry Von Sprecken and Monti View Trailer Court owner L J Schlemme run busy tourist businesses with ongoing improvements. Each day cleaners, towels and fresh sheets are needed, with wives and helpers handling the work. Schlemme adds a utility building for baths and laundry, a playground for families, and cabins with private baths, while noting water and winter access issues for trailer residents. Both keep guest records to return left items and guard against ruses, proving tourism is a multi faceted daily enterprise.
